Obviously, the likelihood that all three childhood vaccines are administered is enhanced if they can be given in one appointment. Obviously.
His executive order (to the extent that any clinician actually decides to fecklessly follow it)… will cause excess deaths from preventible diseases in America, to a certainty. Of kids. Damn him — here’s that:
…President Donald Trump on Monday signed an executive order calling for revamped childhood vaccine recommendations that promote his long-held but discredited theory that childhood shots should be spaced out into separate medical visits.
The order advocates separating the measles, mumps and rubella (MMR) vaccine into three different single-disease shots and administering all childhood immunizations at separate appointments whenever possible. It also directs the nation’s health department to improve research on vaccines, which are already extensively studied, and present a plan to offer separate measles, mumps, and rubella vaccines for children, since that is not currently an option in the United States….
I strongly suspect Merck will keep on making and selling MMR stock (it will remain FDA approved as a combo) — and let the clinicians decide. Trump cannot prevent that. Nor can he stop responsible parents from following the clear science here. Onward, resolutely.
